Vehicles are your friend. Tank battle FTW.

Though…have they fixed tank drones never using their main gun?

Is any portable light that offers “bright” in an small area? I think to make a foldable light with a battery car or anything that is low weight for have good vision inside any house Ill go to loot, but dunno how useful is. So I can expend day reading / crafting with good light.

Also making a foldable mule with motor muscle or something is possible? like a small forklift? I mean not exactly like a vehicle were you are going to seat and drive, and more like something that help me to drag a lot in a single tile, but not actually using only my strength.

I still can´t find a recharging station for just using flashlights.

is there a point to putting roof pieces on quarter panel or board pieces? Or will it result in some funkyness?

pisskop · 2015-12-26T23:24:04.000Z

No funkyness.

It wont help anything, but it wont rain on that spot. Which is whatever. You can if you want, it will increase weight and possible make the tile more durable because the roof can absorb damage too.

Putting it over a door however is sensible, as it prevents the adjacent interior sections from counting as “outside” when you open the door.

A roof over a quarterpanel miiight be useful for the same reason if the panel gets utterly wrecked from damage, assuming the roof doesn’t go first. But if THAT happens you might have more pressing concerns than getting rained on.

Putting it over a door makes sense. Thanks you two. You are like a two man army of anti-noobifyingness.

Just Spikes and steel plating I ram everything (well no trees oc and walls just walking things)

pisskop · 2015-12-27T02:54:40.000Z

Trees are suprisingly easy to ram through.

Etherdreamer · 2015-12-27T03:09:54.000Z

Not with my actual vehicle.

He is good with small boulders / bushes. And any zed I ve found, even Bio-weapons (from bio-weapon mod) that are pretty tough, are dead if I hit over 46+ km/h.
I know is not the best thing you see out there but is functional, I searching for a nice vihicle to work over it, dunno what are going to pick, got a normal electrical motor, maybe for using it as a backup if for some reason I lost all my gasoline that could be pretty uncommon but you can´t never be sure.

Can´t ram trees, dunno.

Edit: Using light frames could make my vehicle got destroyed just rinding it for using a “weak” skeleton? or is not possible?

I haven’t messed with vehicle mounted turrets in a while. I’m trying to use a mounted M249 but can’t seem to get it to fire. Any help? (I am using the more parts for vehicles mod.)

Park your ass on the section of the vehicle it’s installed on, unwield whatever you might be wielding, then hit "f"ire and enjoy. o3o

Or, if you’re talking about making vehicle turrets fire autonomously, then you have to first install a turret frame (aka turret chassis) on the vehicle. Then you install the actual turret on that same tile. Then you can control it from the driver’s seat, setting it to manual or autonomous operation.

Light frames aren’t ideal for ramming into creatures. Even with armor, the frames will still soak up some damage and when it gets destroyed every part on the tile the light frame is in will be detached from the vehicle.

I just use the light frames inside the overall chassis, only external ones are not light (steel or heavyduty (?) )

Btw how I can make a window with interna vision to outside, but people / Z´s can´t look inside?

You can’t.
